Just a few reviews from Amazon Germany

The goal of this book is to provide all seeking Karateka with a structured and systematic support, which enables a deeper development.

It is about getting to know the essentials of Karate and to deepen it as well as to give impulses for techniques and training contents. Furthermore, Karate does not end at the threshold of the Dōjō: the teaching of Karate and its principles offer support for all kinds of everyday situations. This allows the Karateka to develop beyond the technique.

Book structure:

• Karate in Dōjō
  
• Karate in everyday life
  
• The spiritual teaching
  

A guide is revealed to the reader, which makes him better understand and internalize the essence of karate.

Ultimately, this book should serve as a manual for people with demands and expectations of themselves. A manual for Karateka, which did not arrive yet, where they would like to be gladly. There, where Karate is the link between Dōjō and everyday life and where technique, everyday experience and feeling merge into one.

"The Karate essence", because ...

Karate is an extensive topic, the facets of which cannot be completely covered in a book. Furthermore, the practice in Dōjō is crucial to understand this fascinating martial art not only with the intellect but - above all - with the body. The task of this book is to present basic techniques and concepts with accuracy and clarity as a basis in Karate.

Part 1: Karate in Dōjō

In part 1 of the book, the detailed approach, which consciously focuses on the basics, allows the reader to internalize the technical content. When they are mastered, the understanding is created for the more complex techniques, which are consciously not explained here and which are only mentioned without description, both visually and textually.

Part 2: Karate in everyday life.

Part 2 deals with the transfer of this concept and the attitude gained in Dōjō to everyday life. This is about the basic views as well as interpretations and extensions that depend on the individual Karateka. These aspects are subject to the subjectivity of the reader.

Part 3: The spiritual teaching

Part 3 builds on this level. The mental attitude of a person who has decided to take up karate is shaped by this. Various perspectives and perceptions of the whole life are considered from the ground up. The reader gains new impulses on his individual path, which can enable him to change his perspective. Until the Karateka will finally, with the achievement of a certain maturity, go his self-chosen Karate way.
